welcome Here
Hi there
Sorry for your struggles. PCS is scary and no 2 healings are just the same. But you can still brain rest which will maximize your recovery.
If you have to work, then that will make brain rest harder, but not impossible. Really work to reduce stress every way you can.
A good resouce you can even get from your public library is the book BrainLashed by Gail Denton.
Check out the vitamin stickie. These extra vitamins are not a cure all, but it si something you can do in order to help yourself and help your brain deal with stress.
Hang in there.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
